'A poet who I feel more affinity with than most; who writes about Wales but also about the cosmos (as I do); who’s as clear, pure, lucid, light, and accessible as I wish to be; who’s as true, bright, honest, right-seeing, and unafraid as I, also, aim for in my own work [...] Perhaps it’s because of the hills and the sky, the sea on our three sides and our cultural inheritance, but I find the landscape of Jenkins’ work here hugely appealing, highly inspiring, a mirror for me and the poet I am and would like to grow to be. [...] Honest, lively, so finely written, and entirely enjoyable and uplifting for any reader...'
